The durability of commercial tires is key to a successful business, and choosing high quality models such as Kumho KLT02e is crucial. This tire is designed for the trailer axle of trucks involved in long haul operations. By using the latest technologies combined with a modern design, the engineers created a trusty companion for numerous truck drivers.
Starting off, the Kumho KLT02e has a universal five rib tread pattern that works best on the trailer axle. The main three ribs provide excellent steering accuracy and stability, making sure the trailer follows the truck precisely. Next, the closed shoulders grant better cornering ability while promoting even wear for a longer tread life. Moreover, they evenly spread load pressure on the surface, upgrading the load capacity. Combined with durable sidewalls, they allow a single tire to carry up to 6,614 lbs, depending on the size.
In addition, the stiff sidewalls of the Kumho KLT02e protect the rim from lateral damage to avoid costly repairs. What's more, four wide linear grooves expel water from the footprint, thus reducing the risk of aquaplaning on wet roads. A smart sipe design adds extra biting edges that upgrade grip and enhance performance in slippery conditions. Special decoupling grooves combat irregular wear, ensuring longer mileage. A modern rubber compound lowers the rolling resistance, thus cutting fuel usage. Furthermore, a robust internal build resists deep cuts and punctures for maximum durability. Finally, this model is available on the US market in well known sizes such as 11R22.5 and 295/75R22.5.
